I would like to start this post wishing everyone a Happy New Year!
It's the start of yet another brand new year. 2014 has been kind to me.
Though there were some tough lessons on trusts learnt along the way,
only the good things etch into my memory.
I'm
thankful for the new friends I made, thankful for the new and existing
sponsors I have, thankful to my team in Taiwan and Korea to ensure that I
have a successful debut. Thankful for my supporters and to the people
who believed in me no matter what. Thank you all for making 2014
memorable and fun.
Come 2015, I will be
releasing new songs, and I hope that you all can continue my life
journey with me, creating more happy moments and memories together and
achieve more success together. I believe 2015 will be a wonderful year!
That
being said, I recently had the chance to attend Jay Chou's Singapore
concert held at the Singapore Sports Hub. It was awesome! More than
20000 fans turn up and the view was stunning especially after the lights
were off and the light sticks glow. It is a dream for all singers to
hold a concert of this size in their lifetime.
I'm
also excited that 3 of my idols have released new songs and albums in
2015. Personally I felt JJ Lin and Wang Leehom made daring challenges in
their latest songs while Jay Chou stuck to his usual style which I
really really like. Totally in love with Jay's latest album. Will be
looking forward to JJ Lin's and Leehom's albums as well. In
the meanwhile before I sign off, do enjoy my cover of Jay Chou's latest
new song, 算什麼男人！
Christmas 2014 was a meaningful event for the Project Awareness
team. Sorry to blog it 10 days after the event as I'm busy with my work recently.
Together
with our sponsors and volunteers, we managed to support THK Bedok
Radiance Senior Activity Centre (THK-BRSAC) to organise a party for the
low income and elderly residents
of Bedok. More than 100 of them turn up and they all had fun! Thank you
Ms Lee Lee from THK Bedok for sending me some of the photo.
I would like to thank the following volunteers for their kind support to this event:

Also thank you to Mr Jacky Goh from J Consulting Group for driving me around to collect and deliver the items.
I
also met one of the grandma during the delivery of the items to THK
Bedok and glad that she is doing well and enjoy herself in the center
with the other elderly. Anyway I'm currently planning a couple of goody
bags distribution in February 2015 to some of the low-income families.
Stay tuned to Project Awareness Facebook Page for more information and update!
Lastly, once again thank you all for making all these happen!
As
promised, I'm doing my review on my latest toy Kata i3s! Being a
recently converted Android user, I am looking forward to what Kata
phones have in store for me and boy would I say I am not at all
disappointed. Looking at the specs of the phone, one wouldnt even dare
think of this phone being one of the most affordable smartphones in the
entire Singapore.
Kata i3s Specifications
5-inch HD display, 294ppi 1.3GHz MediaTek MTK6582 quad-core CPU
1GB RAM 16GB internal storage up to 32GB via microSD 13 megapixel AF rear camera w/ LED flash 5 megapixel front camera Dual-SIM, Dual-Standby 3G HSPA+ WiFi 802.11 b/g/n Bluetooth 4.0 + HS Android 4.4 Kitkat 2,250mAh Li-po battery 152.8 x 79 x 8.5 mm 168.9 g Grey, Violet, Blue
What
amazes me the most when I first got the phone is its camera. 13 MP
camera on a phone that costs less than SGD$200? Are you serious?
Absolutely yes! Check out the photos I took with my Kata i3s!
The
5 MP front camera also allows me to take almost HD videos from front. I
did a test while covering Jay Chou's latest song 算什么男人 last week. I
took the video using the front camera Kata i3s.
Speed
test on the Kata i3s was ok. No lags was observed and apps launch
pretty fast. The scrolling was pretty smooth and sensitive too. The user
interface is almost the same as what you would see on any android
phones, with a pretty much customisable everything including widgets and
the google search bar. The on off button is on the side and the screen
is the same "slide to unlock" feature. Keyboard typing is precise and
accurate and supports multi languages.
Watching
a movie on the Kata i3s is also an amazing experience. The 5 inch HD
display gives me the ultimate visual satisfaction when I put on 1080p
movies. The speaker is loud and clear too and you can hear to the
slightest footsteps sound in the movie. There was no lag or whatsoever.
Clean and clear 2 hour amazing movie experience.
That
being said, using the Kata i3s as an MP3 player is also an ideal
choice. Gone were the days where I need to bring an extra MP3 Player
everywhere I go now that the internal memory can hold up to 32GB. Being
at less than 169 grams so meant that I can carry it while I go for my
usual jog with my headphones plugged in blasting music while exercising.
Battery
life is also one of the another plus point of the Kata phone. I only
need to charge on the 2nd day after some intensive use of the phone
compared to my previous smartphone, which requires me to charge daily.
It can also connect to Bluetooth Devices and can also tether internet
connection. One of the other main features of Kata products is the
inclusion of Kata Cloud, which lets you backup your data like iCloud
does for Apple.
All
in all, I would say that my Kata experience so far has been magical. I
always have my doubts when taking on new challenges but the Kata i3s
simply blew me away after I start using it. At this price, I would say
it is an absolute steal and value for money for everyone. I would
strongly recommend Kata i3s to anyone who wants a user friendly, is a
camera freak, movie buff, music lover and multitasker phone but yet
enjoy economic savings on your pocket. That being said, I cant wait for
the release of Kata i4, coming soon.....
Kata i3s is currently on sale at:
1 Irving Place

Have you Kata today? Anyway, hereby wishing all my friends and music supporters, clients and partners at I-Asia Star, clients and colleagues at Assurance Awareness and Property Awareness, volunteers and sponsors at Project Awareness, a Blessed and Merry Christmas!
